DİYARBAKIR İLİNDE YETİŞEN ENDEMİK BİTKİ TÜRLERİNİN A/R/TOGRAFİ YÖNTEMİ İLE İNCELENEREK BİYOMORFİK ÜSLUPLA İFADE EDİLMESİ

Abstract

This research aims to gain an artistic perspective in the light of the results obtained from the application studies, to create awareness towards nature, history, cultural values and to gain sensitivity in transferring all these common values to the future generations, to introduce the biological heritage of Diyarbakır province through endemic plant species in an artistic framework and to ensure their transfer to the future generations. For this reason, visual applications were made with biomorphic style based on the essence and form characteristics of five endemic plants growing in Diyarbakır province. The Turkish names of the plants, which are listed alphabetically according to their Latin names, are given in parentheses. These plants are: Ajuga Xylorrhiza, Isatis Demiriziana, Lathyrus Trachycoupus, Onobrychis Silvanensis, Rosularia Blepharophylla. In the application studies, five examples were selected from the historical and cultural structures of Diyarbakır and added to the visual composition. These architectural structures are, respectively: Diyarbakır City Walls, Malabadi Bridge, Church of the Virgin Mary, Ten-Eyed Bridge and Ulu Mosque. In this study, an interdisciplinary approach was used to establish the relationship between biology and plastic arts, and in this context, nature and art, which have common features such as aesthetics, form and shape, were brought together and became the main starting point of the research. In this research, where the A/r/tography method was applied, the results of the situations examined as a result of subjective evaluations were expressed with the application studies carried out by the researcher.
